Quick update. I will post tomorrow afternoon (my afternoon off) if I don't post after TT this evening. I have been keeping up on everyone's sitches, just haven't had much time to post. I've been reading and thinking and have found some things that I think will interest others.
XH's texts/emails have been short and curt over the past week. Yesterday got an e-mail from X-SIL addressed to XH and me about their mother and XH responded to that in a short, curt, almost defensive manner........so he's not saving his defensiveness/anger just for me.
I emailed him yesterday to ask if he wanted to go to the Cuban restaurant after TT and he responded within a couple minutes: "........I will see you Wed. at 6:30 for TT and dinner after. Mr. G" , so we are going to dinner this evening after TT.........and MHL, I think you are right that Mr. GAG sees me as someone that he can talk to. If the mood is right this evening I am going to ask if he wants to go see the big King Tut exhibit that just opened in town. It's never been in this part of the country before and it may be the special event that I've been waiting to invite him to.
I plan to be supportive this evening, not flirty. My sense is that he is depressed and irritable for the past few weeks, so flirting would not be appropriate right now.
